I've been having this problem for a while, and I don't know when it started. My sysNAND is 4.2, and my emuNAND is 9.9. This happens both when I load it with Gateway and with rxTools.

Basically, any time I open one of the system applets--web browser, friends list, game manuals, etc.--it works fine at first. But then, when I attempt to exit said applet, it freezes. If I do it by pressing Home, it takes me to the screen where it says "HOME Menu", but it doesn't actually load the menu; it just stays frozen on that screen. If I press the Power button, it fades to black like normal, but it just freezes then as well; it doesn't show the "Software closed" screen. This happens regardless of whether or not I have something suspended.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure, creating new title database fixed friends list freezing problem that I've had a while ago, but I didn't have any apps downloaded at a time. Just to be sure, backup your SD Card contents first. Use save manager homebrew to back up the savefiles and restore them after redownloading your apps from eShop.

I figured out how to fix it without deleting all the software. I used GodMode9 to copy my dbs/ticket.db file from my NAND (A9LH so it's sysNAND) and did a NAND backup. Then I restored a backup from before the problem occurred, did a system update to bring it back to the latest version. Finally, I put the ticket.db I copied into the new NAND. I was able to save my home menu layout as well via the normal, official way; that's stored on the SD card so it didn't get overwritten.
